Any child may, from time to time, require additional support at school to achieve their potential. For some children with complex learning needs this support may be ongoing; whilst a targeted short intervention may address a learning gap for other children and be all the support they need. All children are continually assessed as part of our best practice policy and their progress carefully tracked.

If your child has been identified with SEND (Special Educational Needs or Disabilities), we will place them on the SEND register. Your class teacher remains responsible for planning and delivery of appropriate learning opportunities but their progress will be monitored by the SENCos, who when necessary will offer specific assessments, individualised approaches to learning, or access external resources to support the teaching staff.

The school values your input in planning for children with SEND and you will be included in the process of identification and planning for how best to meet your child's needs. Details of how we approach SEND and the answers to most frequently asked questions are included in the SEND Information Report.
